The  question  (22d,)  “ What  amount  does  your  town  receive  from  the  Treasury 
of  this  Commonwealth  towards  the  support  of  State  Paupers  ?”  continues  to  be 
answered  in  the  same  unsatisfactory  manner  as  heretofore,  and  of  which  spe- 
cial mention  was  made  in  the  abstracted  returns  of  1847.  In  answering  the 
question,  an  amount  is  indicated  by  some  towns  to  have  been  received  the  last 
year,  others,  the  amount  charged  this;  a few  give  the  sums  received  and 
charged  for  each  of  the  two  years;  but  far  the  greater  number  state  the 
amount  without  date  or  comment.  It  is  desirable  that  the  Return  should  state 
the  amount  received  for  the  year  preceding.  In  this  Abstract,  in  cases  where 
the  year  is  mentioned,  # designates  the  sum  received  for  1847,  and  that 
charged  for  1848.  In  consequence  of  this  discrepancy,  the  columns  have  not 
been  footed,  as  no  value  could  be  attached  to  the  result. 

It  will  be  seen,  in  many  instances,  that  the  united  numbers  of  the  Town  and 
State  Paupers  do  not  balance  the  whole  number  returned,  and  that  the  totals 
are  affected  accordingly.  The  figures  are  stated  in  each  case  as  they  are 
given  in  the  Returns,  the  Secretary  not  having  the  means  to  make  the  proper 
corrections.
